Homelander: New Legacy

[21] : A-Train

Roger parted ways with the members of The Boys and flew swiftly towards Evelyn's house. His super-vision scanned the area for A-Train's silhouette.

In fact, Roger didn't need Maeve to search; he could guess that A-Train was certainly the one looking for Kimiko now. After all, it was Homelander who came up with the idea of experimenting on adults by injecting them with Compound V, and A-Train was Homelander's accomplice. He helped Homelander distribute Compound V around the world while also conducting experiments locally.

Kimiko was the test subject A-Train was responsible for, and currently the only test subject in this city.

The place where Kimiko was held had been blown to pieces by the gas canisters Roger had thrown. The area was now cordoned off by the police. Even if A-Train wasn't the brightest, he would know that Kimiko must have escaped.

Normally, the first thing he should do would be to report this to Homelander, but he was worried that Homelander would punish him if he found out.

If the current Homelander wasn't Roger, Homelander would certainly do so.

Therefore, A-Train planned to find the person first, and if he couldn't, then he'd report to Homelander.

Roger could guess A-Train's thoughts, so he wasn't too worried about Evelyn and Kimiko. As long as it wasn't other superhumans from Vought or a member of The Seven like Black Noir who came, there wasn't much to worry about.

Even if it was someone from Vought, Roger could step in to handle it.

After searching in the air for a short while, Roger received a call from Maeve.

After the race, A-Train had indeed disappeared. According to his brother, he seemed to have gone to take care of some personal matters.

Upon receiving this news, Roger became more certain that Kimiko sensed A-Train was the one looking for her.

Increasing his flight speed, Roger arrived above Evelyn's house and searched the area. Finally, he found A-Train, who was darting through the streets so fast only his afterimage could be seen.

A-Train's speed was faster than Roger's. Although Roger was very fast, apart from flying upwards, he couldn't instantly disappear from sight like A-Train could.

Just as Superman's speed couldn't match the Flash's, Roger's speed couldn't match A-Train's. Otherwise, A-Train wouldn't have been a member of The Seven.

Having found A-Train, the rest was simple.

Aiming at the spot where A-Train was about to rush to, Roger dropped from the sky, landing at high speed in A-Train's path. He removed the hood from his head.

Bang!

The sound of a sonic boom stopped right in front of him. A-Train, dressed in his blue hero costume, halted before Roger. He looked at Roger with surprise and asked:

"Homelander? How... how did you..."

Seeing Roger standing before him, A-Train was momentarily panicked. He thought Roger had appeared here because he knew about Kimiko's escape.

Moreover, having just finished the race with Shockwave, the effects of Compound V hadn't yet worn off, making A-Train even more nervous facing Roger.

Roger observed A-Train's tension. Using his X-ray vision, he noticed A-Train's heart was beating rapidly, and the blood flow in his body was somewhat abnormal.

With an expressionless face, Roger looked at A-Train, placed his hand on A-Train's shoulder, and asked:

"The race just ended. Instead of bragging to reporters, why are you running around here?"
